I may not be a Christian, but some times I like the Christmas carols. That doesn't mean that I need to hear them from the day after Thanksgiving on. Are they trying to make us hate it? I say start DEC. 15th, then it wouldn't drive me quite as crazy.

I am not Christian but I do celebrate Christmas with friends and family. It is a time for love and sharing and giving of gifts to dear ones. I like the music, the color, the hubbub that goes along with the season so...I guess I don't escape at all. Right now I have Josh Groban's Christmas Album from last year (Noel) playing in my office. Then again, I listen to Josh Groban all year long, no matter the season!

I wish I was in your office.

Nothing would bring me more joy than for this theist to wail away with an equally dissonant atheist, while our co-workers shriek in horror

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated!

The Christmas music on the radio is overkill! Yikes! Enough is enough already! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the freaking way!

I am the same way, after the first day or two I just cut off the radio. I wonder if advertisers recognize the affect it has on many of their listeners. It makes me want to give out personal ear phones so I won’t have to hear the songs repeated dozens of times. It just adds to the stress of the holiday.
